More load carrying capacity of the rebars. For a given design load, fewer number of rebars or reduced diameter is required.
Minimum YS of 570*MPa
(More than IS1786:2008 – 550MPa)
Enhanced earthquake resistance
Minimum UTS/YS ratio of >=1.15
(Matching lS13920 2016 - >=1.15)
Higher gap between YS and UTS results in higher ductility
Minimum Total Elongation of >=16%
(More than IS13920:2016 - >=14.5%)
Ability to stretch more before fracture at room temperature
Minimum Total Elongation at max force (UTS) >=5%
(Matching IS1786:2008 >=5%)
